Quotations of Thomas Jefferson

Includes some 100 observations about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness-as well as art and culture-from the author of the Declaration of Independence. Featuring a classic portrait of the author on the front cover with his signature printed below in gold foil, this book is attractively packaged in a trim hardcover with a three-piece case binding. It's part of a series of quotation books from Applewood Books that collects and celebrates the words of great figures from American history. The series begins with three of the Founding Fathers: Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln, who ended slavery and led the country through a civil war. The words of these men, from private journals, correspondence, speeches and public writings, are as inspiring and thought-provoking today as when they were first written.
